Wall hanging for outside?
#1
Has anyone made a wall hanging for a porch that is exposed to weather? If so, any tips? Also, any patterns would be much appreciated. We just finished expanding our back deck and now it REALLY needs something on the big blank space of the house behind the glider. Thanks for your help.

I think if you used flannel or a light weight batting it would work and not mildew...but you would probably take it down as you get into the rainy season...(if you have one)
I would also use inexpensive fabrics, a large scale design just because it may not weather well, you may decide to dump it after a season or two..
Keep us posted on this project...sounds like fun.

How about using Moonpi's idea....make the out-door quilt out of nylon. At least the top and backing could be nylon, which would stand up to the weather. Use something strong with a lot of polyester in it for the batting.
Has anyone seen the bolts of fabric Wal-Mart is carrying that are labeled something like 90% Polyester and 10% Nylon? This would work for an outdoor quilt.
